Summary:
Bay Village City is a small, high-performing Ohio district serving about 2,273 students across four schools — two elementaries, one middle school, and one high school — with a clear K–12 feeder pattern: Normandy (K–2) to Westerly (3–4) to Bay Middle (5–8) to Bay High (9–12). The district ranks 9th of 773 Ohio districts, in the 99th percentile with 5 stars, and there are no alternative schools here.
Three of the four schools carry elite rankings. Bay High School ranks 16th of 795 Ohio high schools (98th percentile, 5 stars) with a 96.9% graduation rate, and posts end-of-course proficiency of 98.8% in American Government, 96.9% in Biology, and 90.1% in English II. Bay Middle School ranks 17th of 1,046 middle schools and reported 100% Algebra I proficiency in both of the last two years, plus 96.2% in 5th Grade ELA and 92.6% in 8th Grade Science. Westerly Elementary School ranks 33rd of 1,560 elementary schools, with 95.4% in 4th Grade Math and 92.7% in 3rd Grade Math and ELA. Normandy Elementary School serves K–2 and has no state test or rank history, but stands out for the lowest chronic absenteeism (2.4%) and lowest free/reduced lunch rate (6.29%) in the district.
Across all reported 2025–2026 school tests, the simple average is about 91.9% versus roughly 61.1% statewide — about 30.8 points higher — and every reported school score beats its state average. Chronic absenteeism is the clearest dividing line: it rises from 2.4% at Normandy to 4.3% at Westerly, 8.0% at Bay Middle, and 12.3% at Bay High, the only school well above the district's 7.5%. Student/teacher ratios are 17.0 at both elementaries, 14.3 at the middle school, and 13.1 at the high school. The main watch items are high school absenteeism and Bay Middle's 6th Grade ELA, which dipped from 89.4% to 84% — still far above the state's 56%.
